SHAVING KIT Filed May 31, 1930 TYvoxGi fioaosucm Patented June 2, 1931NITED STATES FRANK BOSANAC, OF SCHUMAGHER, ONTARIO, CANADA SHAVINGYKITApplication filed May 31, 1930. Seria1'NoQ458,599.

This invention relates to improvements in shaving kits of the typeemploying what is commonly known as a safety razor.

Tie primary object of this invention, is to provide a shaving kit of theabove mentioned character comprising a casing adapted to carry a safetyrazor in such a manner as to be folded when not in use so that the samemay be received in a carrying case.

A still further object of this invention, is to provide a safety razorof the above mentioned character having a tubular hollow handle adaptedto be used as a container for shaving cream or preparations.

A still further object of the invention, is to provide a safety razorkit having a foldablc handle which is held in place by a sleeve wherebywhen such sleeve is in operative position, the same will act in acapacity to hold the razor blade holding means against rotation.

ther objects and advantages of the invention, may become apparent duringthe course of the following description forming a part of thisspecification and in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical side elevational view of a shaving kit showingthe same in assembled relation;

Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectional View showing the shaving kit andthe safety razor in a folded position;

Figure 3 is a vertical side elevational view of the invention showingthe safety hazor handle in its operative position and the cover removedfrom the kit;

Figure 4 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure2 illustrating in detail the joint in the safety razor handle portion;

Figure 5 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken on line 5-5 ofFigure 2 showing the safety razor handle attached to the shaving lotioncontainer in an oficenter fashion;

trating the inner contour Figure 6 is a transverse cross-sectional viewtaken on line 66 of Figure 2 illusof the shaving lotion container; and VFigure 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the razorhandle andholder in detail and enlarged.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters are employed todesignate like parts throughout the several views the referencecharacter 5 will generally be employed to designate acylindricalcontainer open at both ends and formed with opposite flat internal walls6. p

One end of the container 5 is provided with internal screw threads forreceiving a closure cap 7 having corresponding screw threads 8. Theopposite end of the container 5 is also internally screw threaded forreceiving a screw threaded plug 9 illustrated in detail in Figures 2 and7. It will be noted, that at the same end in which the screw plug 9 isthreaded, the casing 5 is reduced as at10 for receiving a metallic cap12 as illustratedin Figure 2 and the cap 12 is provided with air'vents13 for allowing free circulation of air within the cap.

The foldable safety razor comprises a stem l4 having one end screwthreaded as at 15 for being received inthe eccentric screw threadedopening 16 in the plug 9. It will be noted that the screwthreaded'opening 16 is smaller than the main portion'of the stem 14 andthat the screw threaded end 15 there of is reduced ,for'limiting theinward movement of the stem 14 relative to the plug 9. The opposite endof the stem 14 is provided with screw threads '17 and a central slottedarea 18 forming the furcations 19. Pivotally attached to the bifurcatedend of the stem 14 as by means of the reduced or flat portion 20 of anextension 21 is a. razor blade holder of a conventionaltype which isdesignated by the references character 22. Pivotal motion betweentheextension 21 and the parts 14 and 21 is accomplished both in epivotal and longitudinal direction. The

extension 21 is provided with screw threads 25 which are a continuationin part of the screw threads 17 of the stem 14 whereby an internallyscrew threaded sleeve 26 having screw threads 27 may be threaded orscrewed over the parts 17 and 25 for holding the stem 14 and extension21 in the extended position illustrated in Figure 7 The sleeve 26 hasthreaded engagement with the members 14 and 21 to provide a more rigidconnection when the parts are alined for use. Also, the slot 24 in theportion 20 of the member 21, permits movement of the latter relative tothe stem 14 so to position the threads 17 and 25 to take the internalthreads 27 in the sleeve 26. lVhen it is desired to fold the pivotedparts 14 and 21, the screw threaded sleeve 26 is unscrewed from thethreaded portions 17 and 25 and is allowed to drop upon the lowerportion of the stem 14: whereby it is rested upon the screw threadedplug 9. The extension 21 may then be folded over as illustrated inFigures 2 and 4 in order that the cap 12 may be placed in position onthe container 5.

The type of safety razor 22 comprises the clamping members 28 and 29between which is sandwiched the conventional form of razor blade 30. Theparts 28 and 29 are provided with the usual screw threaded openingswhich are in alignment and are adapted to be received upon the screwthreaded reduced portions 31 of'the extension 21. It is to be understoodthat any form of safety razor may be substituted or employed in place ofthe razor illustrated at 22 in the drawing, such for instance as what isknown in the art as the Gem or Eveready type of safety razors.

It is also to be understood that various changes in the shape, size andarrangement of parts of the device may be resorted to without departingfrom the spirit of the invention or the scope of the sub-joined claim.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is A safety razorshaving kit of the character described, comprising a tubular handle, ascrew plug closure for one end thereof, a screw threaded plug in theopposite end of the handle, a stem having one of its ends eccentricallyconnected to the screw threaded plug, the opposite end of the stemhaving screw threads andbeing bifurcated, an extension having a slottedreduced fiat portion adapted to be received between the blflllr catedend of the stem, a pivot pin passing through the bifurcated end of thestem and through the slot of the flattened reduced portion of theextension, screw threads formed on the extension corresponding to thescrew threads on the stem, an internally screw threaded sleeve adaptedto be screwed upon the screw threads of the stem and the FRANK BOSANAC.
